home cooked dinners by the season

Past Posted Summer Favorites

I’m not sure whether licking the cow’s salt block was a daring or a stupid thing to do, but my cousin always did it. Between that and the maze of hay bales in the attic of my Grandpa’s barn we were easily entertained when we visited North Dakota every summer. It’s been five years since my last visit when we celebrated my Grandma’s 100th birthday and I am not sure when I will visit again, but the sight of bales of hay will forever signal summer to me, my Grandpa’s farm and the relaxed feeling that comes with this time of year.

Linda, This recipe brought back so many memories from when I was growing up. My Italian grandmother used to make it for us with her homegrown tomato’s and homemade bread hot out of the oven. Sometimes she would add Italian salami.
